Really lovely cottage. Beautifully kept and presented. Close to Totness and Dartmouth. Plenty to do and see in the surrounding area. The downsides for us were no washing machine, terrestrial TV only, poor wifi and no phone coverage in the cottage - but on the plus side the teenagers found good reception in the garden for downloads and we amused ourselves of an evening with pizza making and canasta (card game)! If you are wanting to get away from it all, this is the property for you!

The booking process was very easy and communication afterwards excellent. Millers Cottage is beautifully renovated and definitely has the wow factor. It had everything we wanted for our break and Jackie was on hand should we need anything. Location wise it was perfect for us. Highly recommended and without hesitation for anyone wanting somewhere spacious to stay in the south Devon area. We can't wait until our next visit.

About the location

NEWTON ABBOT

Teignmouth 5 miles; Shaldon 5 miles; Torquay 10 miles.

Newton Abbot is situated in the heart of The English Riviera, with its mild climate and thriving palm trees. The ancient market town now offers plenty of modern shops and the famous Hedgehog Hospital, where visitors are encouraged to feed and hold the animals. There's also a racecourse where National Hunt racing takes place from spring until autumn, with craft fayres during winter. Newton Abbot has one of the only traditional working malthouses left in the UK, offering the finest selection of bottled beers in Devon. The nearby seaside towns of Teignmouth and Shaldon are very nearby and are fantastic destinations for families. Spend a day on the beach building sand castles and walk the impressive Victorian Pier at Teignmouth. The National Trust houses of Bradley Manor, Coleton Fishacre and Compton Castle are well worth a visit, whilst the highlight of your stay will undoubtedly be the stunning beaches around Torquay and the many hidden coves such as Meadfoot, Oddicombe and farther afield the pretty Ness Cove. And of course, the South West Coast Path provides stunning seascapes across the bay, with a popular stretch from Torquay Harbour to Daddyhole Plain, passing through Beacon Cove where Agatha Christie used to swim as a girl. Newton Abbot provides a fabulous base for an English seaside holiday all year round.
